Kerry's Low Profile May Cost Crucial Latino Votes

By Michael Finnegan, Times Staff Writer

ALBUQUERQUE — At the New Mexico headquarters of President Bush's reelection campaign, maps cover the walls. One is a dense maze of color-coded pins tracking block-by-block recruitment of Bush precinct captains. For the six paid operatives who have worked here for weeks, the maps chart the battle to avert what happened to Bush in 2000: He lost New Mexico by 366 votes.

So far, it's an uneven fight. Two months after John F. Kerry in effect captured the Democratic presidential nomination, the Massachusetts senator has no staff or headquarters in New Mexico, the nation's most heavily Latino state.

In each of the three other battleground states where the Latino vote is pivotal — Arizona, Nevada and Florida — the same is true: Bush has staff and headquarters; Kerry does not. Bush also has run television ads in Spanish in each of those states; Kerry has not.

He's never won a Presidential election!

New Mexico, and probably Florida, is OVER when that happens. And it will. At the right time. They really want Kerry to blow his money early, don't they?

NT..

it's the only way to (I hope) that they will be able to pull off their BBV scams, though anymore, I doubt enough Americans care about election fraud- especially when the only real evidence against a candidate is statistical inference.

The Latino's were well represented. For those of you who didn't attend or were unable to view/hear the speakers this march was unquestionably a protest against b__h.
